Bollywood superstars John Abraham and Shah Rukh Khan co-starred in the 2023 film, Pathaan. The actors have also made headlines about their alleged feud. However, John has recently reflected on his relationship with Shah Rukh.

During a recent interview with Pinkvilla, John Abraham has recently reflected on his kiss with Shah Rukh Khan at the success party of Pathaan. John recalled, "That's probably the best kiss I have got in my life and it is from Shah Rukh Khan and not from a woman. That was at the success bash of Pathaan. Probably, one of the best co-stars I have worked with."

The actor continued expressing his admiration and shared, “What a beautiful man, a beautiful human being, and very gracious. He is so charming.”

John further shared, “My manager once said that he taught us the idea of love and he brought the world crashing down after that. He is like the perfect man when he puts his hands out."

Previously, John has previously shared during a press conference that Shah Rukh Khan has become emotion. He said, “I don't think he (Shah Rukh Khan) is an actor anymore, he is an emotion.”

He recalled, “Which is why I nearly went to kiss him in many scenes (laughs). I have worked with Deepika earlier, and it's amazing to work with her. The songs feature one of the most beautiful man and the most beautiful woman (Deepika Padukone).”
